Oakland Ballet will present a program of works by Bay Area choreographers, "Jewels of the Bay" on Friday and Saturday, October 16 and 17, 2009 at the auditorium at Holy Names University. Angela Woodall previews the program in The Oakland Tribune:

Why doesn't Oakland Ballet hire/retain Michael Lowe as AD? He has such a history with the company along with the passion, intelligence, and commitment necessary for the position. He seems like the natural choice to me...

I saw this program on Friday Oct 16 also, and was pleasantly surprised. Considering the company's recent history, I wasn't expecting much, but they cobbled together a very well danced and entertaining program. I agree that it could be a very good move for the Board to hire Michael permanently. He put together a good program under really bad circumstances.

It was nice to see so many familiar faces on stage (and in the audience). The dancers looked like they were having a really good time too.
